I am interested in finding information on abrasive wear maps (abrasive wear rate) for steel exposed to various environments such as sand, mud, traditional soil, and coal. Can anyone provide insights on this topic?
Some failure analysis literature may offer the information you need, but you may have to conduct a thorough search to find it.
I work in the metallurgical field, and from my experience, finding precise abrasive wear maps for specific environments can be quite challenging as the wear rate not only depends on the type of abrasive material (like sand, mud, etc.) but also the properties of steel such as hardness, toughness, microstructure, etc. To get more customized data, I'd recommend conducting controlled abrasion tests using different types of wearing mediums. Another promising lead could be to refer to studies and research papers focusing on extreme environment wear testing of steel, there's plenty out there in the public domain if you search in the right repositories, like ScienceDirect or Springer. ASTM G65 Standard Test Method for Measuring Abrasion Using the Dry Sand/Rubber Wheel Apparatus might give you a standardized approach to quantify wear rates under controlled conditions.
That's quite a detailed query, perfect for an engineer or material scientist! While I can't provide direct data, I'd suggest you look into ASM handbooks, particularly Volume 18: Friction, Lubrication and Wear Technology, which houses a significant range of wear data for different materials and environments. Furthermore, various research papers on 'Wear Map' can provide in-depth information. Manufacturers of steel and wear-resistant alloys often publish abrasion resistance data too. Don't forget that the wear rate can also significantly depend on factors like load, velocity, temperature, hardness of the abrasive particles, etc. Make sure you consider those as well while compiling data.

Answer: 1. What are abrasive wear maps and how are they relevant to steel exposed to different environments? - Abrasive wear maps show the abrasive wear rate of materials, such as steel, when exposed to different environments like sand, mud, soil, and coal. They help in understanding how the material will degrade over time in these conditions.
Answer: - The abrasive wear rate of steel can vary significantly depending on the specific environment it is exposed to. Sand and coal, for example, are known to cause higher wear rates compared to mud or traditional soil.
Answer: - Yes, factors such as particle size, hardness, and shape of the abrasive materials present in each environment can impact the wear rate of steel. The presence of moisture or other corrosive elements can also play a role.
Answer: - Research papers, academic journals, and industry reports are good sources of information on abrasive wear rates of steel in different environments. Consulting with experts in materials science and engineering can also provide valuable insights.
